| Topic | Justin Trudeau is in DANGER of losing Canadas Next Election on Sept.20!!!! |
| adjl 09/05/21 11:18:58 AM #4 | faramir77 posted... with quite a lot of irony given that in 2015 they campaigned on introducing rep by pop elections The Liberals' ideal for election reform was a ranked ballot, not prop rep. With a ranked ballot, they'd pretty much never lose another election, since they're at least the second choice for most voters. Prop rep was the favoured option for the NDP, who routinely end up extremely underrepresented in Parliament based on their share of the popular vote and would therefore stand to gain a much stronger platform if the popular vote dictated their representation (likely still no majority governments, but more than the handful of seats they tend to have). --- This is my signature.

| Topic | Do you support texas's new fetal heartbeat abortion law ? |
| adjl 09/04/21 5:03:24 PM #40 | Dark_Spiret posted... theoretically id like to think it would cut down on abortions in general while not getting rid of or changing the option to have an abortion if you want. This is really the best philosophy. Most people can agree that abortions are bad. Even the people getting them often feel pretty guilty about doing so and would prefer not to have been put in a situation where they had to make that choice. Banning them, however, just results in more risk (both physical and financial) to women that are forced to carry pregnancies to term, an overall worse experience for anyone that suffers a legitimate miscarriage (the thing everyone seems to forget is that if abortions are illegal, every miscarriage warrants a criminal investigation), and increased danger to the ones that try to pursue abortions anyway because they have only unsafe unofficial options to rely on. Meanwhile, subsidized birth control programs and comprehensive sex ed curricula (note that the regions pushing abortion laws the hardest tend to also favour abstinence-only sex ed, which is actually worse than no sex ed at all if you look at metrics like unplanned pregnancies, sexual activity among teens, and STI rates) dramatically reduce the rates of unwanted pregnancies without having any downsides. Fewer unwanted pregnancies=fewer abortions, even when the option is still readily available. It's so easy, but you never see pro-lifers pushing that approach because they're generally more interested in punishing women for being dirty sex-havers than in actually reducing abortion rates (see also: Immediately giving up any pretense of caring about the child's life after it's born). --- This is my signature.

| Topic | Joe Rogan got Covid and decided to take Ivermectin |
| adjl 09/04/21 3:05:23 PM #88 | SKARDAVNELNATE posted... You're awfully obsessed with the idea that he only got a single test. There's no reason that he didn't get a full check up while he was at it other than insisting they don't do that at the place you go to. There's no reason to suspect that he did. I'm asking for you to provide such a reason, instead of just insisting that I must be wrong because otherwise the way you've assumed the world is unfolding doesn't make sense (which it doesn't, but that's not because I'm wrong). SKARDAVNELNATE posted... How pedantic of you. That's like answering "What are you looking for?" with "To find something." I understand that's a reason to take a medication. But the specific medication he's taking is what I asked about. Based on the information available to me, I believe that Joe Rogan is taking Ivermectin because he believes it will help with his Covid infection. Better? SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Never even heard of it before this topic. Once again, I urge you to try to inform yourself before acting like everyone else is wrong. You're ignorant of virtually every piece of common knowledge that is vital to participate meaningfully in this discussion. If you don't know what other people are talking about, you shouldn't assume that's because they're all dumb. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Are you sure people actually believe that? Yes. Absolutely and without any question, simply because I have paid attention. You should try doing the same. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Since you already made the comparison it does sound awfully similar to when news outlets reported that hydroxychloroquine and fish tank cleaner were the same thing. News outlets did not report that hydroxychloroquine and fish tank cleaner were the same thing. News outlets reported on a handful of instances (I can only think of one, but I know better than to believe that human stupidity is so limited as to allow it to only happen once) of people drinking fish tank cleaner because they thought it contained hydroxychloroquine (it actually contained chloroquine phosphate). Completely different things. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... I tend toward thinking that if someone tries something then they must have had a reason why it would work. Generally, the answer to that is "because they're scared and desperate and they haven't seen (or, more saliently, understood) any proof that it doesn't work." Toss in a healthy dose of automatically distrusting whatever the government says and the government saying that they don't work (which, in their minds, means they do work and Big Pharma is trying to cover up a cheaper, safer alternative to their "cash cow vaccines"), and you've got a recipe for people drinking aquarium cleaner because they saw somebody on facebook say it (or something that sounds kind of like it) might work. --- This is my signature.

| adjl 09/04/21 2:39:02 PM #58 | Revelation34 posted... People are allowed to have sex without telling somebody they have HIV in California. The law originally made it illegal not to tell. Correction: The original law made it a felony. The amended law has downgraded that to a misdemeanour, bringing it in line with other STI's. It's still illegal to conceal HIV from a partner, the penalty for it has just been reduced. This reflects the advances that have been made in HIV prevention and treatment, which ultimately mean that HIV is no longer so much worse than every other STI that concealing it warrants a much harsher punishment than any other STI would see. Personally, I'd be more in favour of upgrading the response to other STI's to be in line with HIV's severity, rather than downgrading HIV (ultimately, concealing an STI is a form of rape and should be treated as such), but downgrading it is a logically consistent decision. I can agree with trying to be consistent, even if there's still room for improvement. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. |

I do understand their points of view, and I'm willing to concede points to the reasonable ones, but when it comes to the more extreme types who would rather stop women and little girls from obtaining an abortion under duress such as unforeseen medical problems and sexual assault while maintaining an air of self righteousness and attacking reproductive health and low cost clinics then they can piss right off. Mostly, I'm only ever willing to entertain a pro-life viewpoint if they're more willing to entertain measures to reduce unwanted pregnancies (comprehensive sex ed, subsidized birth control, subsidized prenatal care and improved supports for struggling parents) than they are bans on abortion. Anyone that wants to ban the cure without investing in prevention is just being a self-righteous dink that cares more about punishing women (and specifically women, because anti-abortion laws never do anything at all to target the men that helped create the problem in the first place) for having sex than about anything to do with the lives they claim to cherish. --- This is my signature.

There's not exactly a lot of room for improvement, short of painting the stick fun colours. Of course, if you could find an example of a private Covid testing clinic in his area that would somehow offer a superior experience for a premium, you might be able to make a point. Otherwise you're just making idle speculations about a subject of which you have zero experience and very little understanding, which generally isn't a good idea. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... That doesn't answer my question. It explains why you think he's using it to treat covid. Your question was "what, in your estimation, is the reason he's taking it?". My answer was "I'm gonna guess he's taking it to treat his Covid infection." That's very clearly an answer to the question, and the fact that it is my own speculation on the matter doesn't change that (because you explicitly asked for my guess). SKARDAVNELNATE posted... That is a more simple explanation than thinking that he picked a random medication that has nothing to do with his diagnosis and started taking it without any reason for it. Are you unaware of the fact that Ivermectin is the new Hydroxychloroquine, in that it's a drug that many people (almost exclusively right-wing anti-vaxxers like Mr. Rogan) have latched onto as a miracle treatment for Covid despite the lack of any evidence that it has such capabilities?

She will continue to do as she is doing now just in the comfort of her home for 2 weeks (maybe). Given the recent trend, she will likely ramp of her anti covid rhetoric downplaying it more or recommending the latest snake oil treatment. Anyone expecting Candace to do anything extreme that will land her in legal trouble are setting themselves up for disappointment. That's also a good thing, though. If she's positive, she should be isolating. That she'll continue being the miserable waste of carbon that she normally is during that time is irrelevant and does nothing to negate the good that's done by positive cases isolating. If she doesn't isolate, that's when legal intervention becomes an option, which is also a good thing.

Especially the ones taking up hospital beds, killing the vaccinated population who needs a hospital for life threatening emergencies. There's considerable difference between carelessly spreading the virus by not taking suitable precautions and deliberately spreading it after being confirmed to be contagious. There's ample precedent for prosecuting people for knowingly spreading diseases in the past. Believe me, I'd love to be rid of the anti-vaxx crowd as much as the next guy, but unfortunately, the law doesn't allow for prosecuting recklessness in the context of public health. Bring intent into the mix, however, and you can start getting somewhere. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. |

It gets less fresh, but it doesn't really go bad for like 5 years unless it gets too much moisture And if it does get too much moisture, just add some extra water and leave it in an airtight jar for a while and you've got some free booze. That said, if you're relying on how cheap rice is, that means using it as a major staple of your diet. You can go through a 50 lb bag pretty quickly in that case. --- This is my signature.

Sure, but she's going to try to spin it to make "the libs" look bad regardless of what happens. At least if they know she's positive, it opens up potential bioterrorism charges or other suitable punitive action. --- This is my signature.

| Topic | Do you know of any tv shows that actually are straight up anti-cop? |
| adjl 09/03/21 9:51:12 AM #3 | I'd guess any you do find are going to be dystopian sci-fi series, where the police are the enforcement arm of a corrupt totalitarian government against whom the protagonist is trying to fight. Acknowledging the corrupt, abusive nature of most police departments in the real world is something TV tends to shy away from, mostly because said police tend to be pretty good to the media corporations that produce and filter the shows. --- This is my signature.

First, there's nothing "hypocritical" about that. There's a lot of s*** people did as kids that they realize they don't want kids doing. Of course, to make sense of that, we need to modify the quote a bit to insert the actual subjects/objects and eliminate some of the ambiguity that pronouns suffer without context, so let's do that: Zeus posted... First, there's nothing "hypocritical" about [thinking a 3 hour weekly limit isn't too extreme despite growing up and/or currently playing games]. There's a lot of s*** people did as kids that they realize they don't want kids doing. Obviously, I'm taking the liberty of presuming that you're using the misinterpreted version of the "yes response," given that that's what you were replying to, but the bottom line is that you're suggesting that people think 3 hours/week isn't too extreme a limit either because they recognize that they played too much themselves (though there's ample middle ground between "played too much" and 3 hours/week, so that's not much of a justification), or because they already followed such a limit themselves (which you have characterized as "playing responsibly"). Sure, that might not be what you meant, but it is what you said. If it's not what you meant, you should perhaps try to communicate more effectively. --- This is my signature.
